About
A charming and characterful former lodge dating back to the 19th Century, originally built by the family behind the renowned White Star Line ship builders, this beautifully presented detached home offers spacious and highly versatile accommodation extending to over 1,700 sq ft.
Occupying a leafy semi-rural position on the outskirts of East Grinstead, the property enjoys attractive views over its gardens and neighbouring land, whilst offering flexible living ideally suited to modern family life and multi-generational living.
Tastefully extended and updated by the current owners, the accommodation is both welcoming and practical.
The generous kitchen/breakfast room forms the heart of the home, providing ample workspace and room for informal dining, whilst the separate dining room is perfect for entertaining and family gatherings.
A bright and spacious lounge overlooks the garden and creates an ideal space for relaxing, complemented by a useful utility room and well-appointed bathrooms across both floors.
The layout offers excellent flexibility, with up to four bedrooms arranged over two floors.
Of particular note is the substantial first floor bedroom suite, featuring its own lounge area, dressing space and en-suite shower room, creating an ideal retreat for extended family, guests or independent living.
Two further ground floor bedrooms and additional bathroom facilities further enhance the adaptable nature of the property.
Externally, the property is approached via a generous driveway providing parking for approximately three vehicles, in addition to a detached double garage, with further scope to add a car port if desired.
The beautiful surrounding gardens enjoy a high degree of privacy and pleasant outlooks over neighbouring land, offering a peaceful setting for outdoor entertaining and family enjoyment.
The property is situated in a highly desirable location on the edge of East Grinstead, surrounded by picturesque countryside and nearby walking routes, whilst remaining conveniently close to the town centre.
East Grinstead offers an excellent range of shops, cafés, restaurants and leisure facilities, along with a mainline railway station providing direct services to London Victoria and London Bridge, making the area particularly attractive to commuters.
The location is also well regarded for its excellent schooling, including nearby Imberhorne School, Sackville School, Brambletye School and Lingfield College, together with a selection of popular primary schools.
The nearby Ashdown Forest and surrounding Sussex countryside offer outstanding opportunities for walking, cycling and outdoor pursuits, making this an exceptional place to call home.
